“In both experiments, the
researchers found that when the right TPJ (right temporo-parietal junction) was
disrupted, subjects were more likely to judge failed attempts to harm as
morally permissible.”

The technique used
by the MIT scientists, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), has been
described as one that creates “virtual lesions”
on the brain.

And although TMS’s
long term effects on health are not well understood (similar amounts of
electromagnetic radiation have been linked to increased cancer risk), the
treatment is becoming increasingly popular for everything from tinnitus to
depression.

The US military
also hopes to use TMS to
keep soldiers fighting, without the need to stop for sleep.

In other words, I was doing everything one is supposed to do to stay healthy. I was not supposed to get sick. It took me six months before discovering or even imagining the main source of the problem - which was in fact "overexposure to electromagnetic" - especially microwave - radiation. I was living within 200 meters of two cell phone towers at the time and within 500 meters of a 3rd one with numerous WiFi signals bleeding into my apartment from adjacent neighbors. I developed a host of symptoms, which are found in what has been misleadingly described as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) -- but much more accurately described as Radio Wave or Microwave Sickness. Large numbers of people in the USA suddenly started getting sick in 1984...
